Meet the RAY Team
The RAY Network is coordinated by the RAY Coordination Office (at the Austrian National Agency for Erasmus+ Youth in Action & European Solidarity Corps) and the RAY Research Coordination (formerly University of Innsbruck, since 2019 Genesis (Generation and Educational Science Institute)).
Two Co-Chairpersons are appointed by the network which are representing either the National Agencies or the research partners. Together with the RAY Coordination Office & the RAY Research Coordination they form the RAY Coordination Group, which acts as an advisory committee.
Research at transnational level is implemented by the transnational research team, which is jointly managed by the Generation and Educational Science Institute (Genesis) in Vienna and Youth Policy Labs (YPL) in Berlin.
